So I am bebopping through Olympia in my Scion when very bright yellow shirt catches my attention. Well low and behold is a cyclist in a bright yellow shirt and lycra, in front of Starbucks, feet propped up, glasses on, and coffee in hand. I just had to chuckle. He was the ultimate picture of relaxation!

I was in Olympia today. With a bike. At a Starbucks. Wearing lycra. Feet propped up. Glasses on. Coffee in hand.
I didn't notice any Scions though. What's a Scion?

Odd, I was also in Olympia. Not to ride though. I had to drive all the way down there, just to get my wife a Glace frozen yogurt from the All-American yogurt at the Westfield mall. What men won't do for their wives.
